Regresja stopniowa z wykorzystaniem wartości p do spadku zmiennych o nieznaczących wartościach p

Pokaż swojemu szefowi:

set.seed(100)
x1 <- runif(100,0,1)
x2 <- as.factor(sample(letters[1:3],100,replace=T))

y <- x1+x1*(x2=="a")+2*(x2=="b")+rnorm(100)
summary(lm(y~x1*x2))

Co daje:

Edit: dla wyjaśnienia: ten exaxmple nie jest najlepszy, jak wskazano w komentarzach. Procedura w Stata i SPSS jest również oparta nie na wartościach p testu T na współczynnikach, ale na teście F po usunięciu jednej ze zmiennych.

Mam funkcja, która robi dokładnie to. Jest to wybór "wartości p", ale nie testu T na współczynnikach lub na wynikach anova. Możesz go użyć, jeśli ci się przyda.
